Changing player shapenames was obfuscated as was messing with the playerlist.
Ah. Can't it be changed to display the player's BLID or username next to the shapename to avoid confusion? Would this still be a problem?
You need a special password to change it and Badspot does not want to be changed and if you do change it, your key may be revoked. End of discussion.
There was an add-on that allowed you to change player appearances, though I'm pretty sure it was by Marble ManSo it got failed.
Tezuni has it
